The suspects, aged between 26 and 56, were charged with attempted murder, robbery and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

When Marx returned home, police said two of the suspects allegedly approached him and shot him in the upper body.
“他们[随后]将他拖进屋内，用扎带捆住他的手脚，并据称对他进行了刺伤。”随后，嫌疑人翻遍了房子，从保险柜中拿走了三支枪支，并驾驶马克思的货车逃离。在农场工人设法挣脱并呼救后，这场折磨才结束。
"They [then] dragged him inside the house, tied his hands and feet with cable ties, and allegedly stabbed him." The suspects then ransacked the house and took three firearms from a safe before escaping with Marx's van. The ordeal ended after the farm worker managed to free himself and call for assistance.
